Plan a Swashbuckling Summer

We're well into summer vacation, and across the land the dread forces are gathering. Wild-eyed, destructive hordes ready to rise up and create chaos wherever they appear � looting and pillaging and spilling beverages on the living-room furniture. Are these fearsome figure Vikings?
